REALITY show star Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are getting another chance to settle their divorce case, and this time a judge wants the professional basketball player to attend.
Humphries did not appear for settlement talks on Friday local time, and a Superior Court judge set another hearing for April 19 in Los Angeles.
The judge also set a hearing for whether Humphries should be fined for not appearing at the mandatory settlement hearing.
Humphries' lawyers declined to comment on settlement discussions but said a May 6 trial date remains.
Lawyers did not reach a settlement after negotiations that were attended by Kim Kardashian. She was flanked by deputies as she left the courthouse shortly around noon.
The reality star wants a divorce to end her 72-day marriage to Humphries, but the NBA player wants it annulled. He claims the marriage was based on fraud, which he would have to prove at trial.

Humphries, a power forward for the Brooklyn Nets, has not yet laid out his specifics to support his fraud claim, but his former lawyer has said Humphries wants an annulment because of his belief that Kardashian only married him because of her reality show.
Kardashian and her lawyer have denied the accusation.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star arrived under heavy security and was brought into the courtroom through a back entrance. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she kept her hands crossed on her lap while she listened to Judge Hank Goldberg explain to reporters that the hearing would be closed.
"I always wanted to be a juror," she joked to deputies before taking her seat.
Kardashian is expecting a child with boyfriend Kanye West later this year. She appeared in court wearing white pants and a long ornate grey jacket, but was not accompanied by West or any members of her famous family.
Her mother, Kris Jenner, is expected to testify on her daughter's behalf at the trial. Humphries has not yet filed his witness list for the trial, which is expected to last a week.
Ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez, Cris Judd, said that despite the age, the American star still dive.
The singer and actress was married to Cris Judd for nine months in 2001 and dancer has admitted that it is not easy to work with.
"I respected was Diana Ross. It was a pleasure to work with and we all have called Miss Ross. But, of course, Jennifer Lopez was the diva. She is performing fantastic and extremely professional. She always wants to be better. You have to respect that, "said Judd.
Friends said the Welsh heart-throb, 35, has been seeing Charlotte Gooch since a chance encounter behind the scenes at her West End musical Top Hat.
Gethin’s mum had accidentally walked into leading actress Charlotte’s dressing room when he took his parents to a night at London’s Aldwych Theatre in January.
A showbiz source said last night: “It was a bit of a strange first encounter, but despite that they hit it off straight away and stayed in contact. He asked her out on a date and they have been out several times since.
“They were trying to keep it a bit low key, but he has started telling people about her and seems really happy. It’s only early days but all the signs are really positive.”
Gethin’s party had been invited backstage by former Holby City actor Tom Chambers, who also stars in the hit musical.
Charlotte, from Epsom, Surrey, is Gethin’s first girlfriend since he split from Katherine in 2011 after a 10-month engagement. The glamorous soprano, 32, described herself as “beyond heartbroken”. The source added: “Katherine will want Gethin to be happy, but seeing him with another woman is always going to be slightly upsetting for her.”
Charlotte, 27, who has been dancing since she was three, has appeared in productions of Dirty Dancing and Fly With The Stars. After they met Gethin tweeted: “@Charlotte_Gooch sorry for the changing room intrusion... by my mum! Thanks for a fab show – class ...x.”
She replied: “@GethinJones hehe not at all, she was lovely. Glad you liked it, lovely to meet you x.”
Ex-Blue Peter host Gethin joined ITV’s Daybreak last year.
Like most little girls, Isabella Barrett loves dressing up, collecting teddy bears and singing along to Justin Bieber.
But that’s about all she has in common with a typical kid. Because at the tender age of six, mini-mogul Isabella is a MILLIONAIRE who has already developed a taste for the finer things in life.
Thanks to wins in beauty pageants which led to stardom on hit US TV reality show Toddlers and Tiaras, she now has own range of jewellery and has already raked in more than most of us could dream of earning in a lifetime.
Instead of clamouring for trips to McDonald's or the sweet shop, Isabella likes to order filet mignon steak or lobster from room service in five-star hotels and her wardrobes are stuffed full of custom-made $10,000 dresses and designer shoes.
“What’s not to like about being a millionaire?” she says. “I’m a superstar, I have my own jewellery line and I just love being the boss. I never lose at anything and almost every pageant I enter, I win. But what I love more than anything is shoes. I have over 60 pairs.”

Two years ago, when Isabella was just four, mum Susanna, 39, discovered her youngest daughter’s potential after entering her in her first beauty pageant. Susanna says: “Before we knew it we were winning every competition and had been picked to appear on Toddlers and Tiaras. Bella fell in love with all the glitz and glamour and was a natural performer.
“Now she owns her own business and already has enough money in the bank to secure her future.”
And while Susanna is quick to hit back at those who criticise her for “sexualising” her daughter and making so much money from her, she does admit to becoming addicted to her daughter’s new-found fame.
“At a certain point at the start when Bella was winning all the time, I’ll admit I did get caught up in it all and had to stop and say to myself, ‘Am I doing this for myself or for Bella?’” says Susanna.
“The whole pageant world is so addictive, especially when your daughter wins so much. But then I looked at Bella and realised she was loving it every bit as much as I was.”
According to US law, Susanna and her husband Antonio must save a percentage of Isabella’s income, money she will not be allowed to touch until she is at least 18. But the mum admits it’s hard not to spoil her little girl and confesses she’s already developing some rather extravagant tastes.

“Antonio and I do not want her to grow up spoilt, so really try to keep her feet on the ground,” says Susanna. “You see what happens to these child stars like Britney Spears and I certainly do not want that happening to my daughter. But she does like nice things, so we do treat her.
“That mainly means new shoes and lots of them. She has designer ones and the sparklier the better for Bella. And she has a ton of Burberry headbands.
Her bedroom is every girl’s dream and has its own throne-style chair and feather boas and Swarovski crystals adorn everything. In her pageant room she even has her own mannequins as the dresses are so expensive we can’t afford to have them crushed in a wardrobe.”
But Isabella’s biggest extravagance is room service at luxury hotels. “We travel so much to enter pageants, she really has developed a taste for five-star hotels and loves being waited on,” says Susanna.
“She can go a little crazy though and once ordered $2,200 [£1,450] worth of food. It’s never cheeseburgers and fries, always the most expensive like filet mignon and lobster. I know it seems pompous, but to us it’s just funny and part of her personality.”
At the family’s Rhode Island home, Isabella has her own office and pageant room for all her competition paraphernalia. Every inch of space is crammed with her trophies.
Susanna says: “I’ll admit when it comes to Bella’s wardrobe, there is no expense spared. That means a voice coach, make-up artist, regular spray tans, hair extensions, acrylic nails and even made-to-measure fake teeth which cost us $500.
“Each performance needs to be like a Broadway show and every single outfit is custom-made, costing up to $10,000. We must have spent around $50,000 entering pageants in the last two years alone, but look where she is now. It’s been more than worth it.”
While Isabella has won huge prizes on the pageant circuit, her financial success comes mainly from the jewellery line she launched in 2012, Glitzy Girl.
It includes charm bracelets and has now expanded to make-up and clothes. The company made $1million in its first year and now employs 42 people – all from an idea Susanna says was her daughter’s.
“I had a charm bracelet made for Bella one day to celebrate her wins and all the mothers loved it,” says Susanna. “Then Bella suggested we could make them for everyone... and Glitzy Girl was born.”
Susanna, who also has daughter Victoria, 19, says: “I run the company on a day-to-day basis while Isabella is at school. But when she’s off, she is absolutely hands-on and is always at the factory.
“She picks the designs for the bracelets, helps with the shipping and she tests every colour in our lip gloss and nail polish line herself. She is definitely the brainchild behind the company. It seems everything she touches turns to gold.”
Isabella is also the face of a line of toys in Toys R Us in the US and has just recorded a pop single.
She goes to school full-time and is so talented she can even speak Italian, German and Spanish. Any spare time is spent on a dizzying round of gymnastics, dance classes and singing lessons.
Her mum says: “The next goal is to be a Disney star and knowing Isabella she will get what she wants. She would love to be the next Selena Gomez.”
Susanna insists: “I am not a pushy parent, I just help Isabella achieve her dreams. If she told me tomorrow she didn’t want to do it any of it any more, then that would be fine.”
And Isabella herself insists: “I love all of it and never want to stop. I just love being a star.”

GANGNAM Style star PSY has launched the video for his new track Gentleman - but it's clear from the clip that a Gentleman is the last thing he is.
The highly-anticipated follow-up to last year's super-hit features the South Korean pop star horsing around with pals.
But while he boasts of being an honest gent in the lyrics, the accompanying video sees him offer a lady his chair - only to whip it out from under her.
As she stands up, a friend seems to offer a hand, only to toss her to the ground once again.
Other scenes see PSY apparently preparing for a game of footie with a group of kids. But instead of passing the ball around, he simply boots it away from the children, ruining their game.
While cheeky PSY also seems to offer a hand to a pair of sunbathing lasses, it's soon revealed that he simply wanted to unlock one of their bikinis before running away laughing.
The song's new dance is much more restrained than Gangnam Style's signature 'horseriding' jig.
Instead, the dancers bend their knees, cross their arms, and thoughtfully stroke their chins as they rock from side to side.
But what do you think? Check out the new video, and let us know whether you think it confirms PSY's status as a hitmaker - or whether he's an embarrassing one-hit wonder.
